Oh, for shit's sake! I once hired a kid who told me he was late for the interview because when he was getting out of the car, he noticed he had a zit on his nose and he had to pop it before he could come in. Then he proceeded to insult me by saying he enjoyed his previous job in customer service for a computer company because he liked helping old people--people in their 30s and 40s.

Talked with the teacher today... I pointed out the light humor on the instruction sheet. She said she didn't find the play on words to be "light" humor, but something like talking about the weather would be appropriate .

I told her I had consulted a panel of experts (you guys ), and while humor can be subjective, the general consensus was that it was funny and appropriate, and we would just have to disagree on what light humor was. I then looked at my bare wrist and said "look at the time! thank you for meeting with me."

Hopefully, when DS#2 goes for a real interview, one of you guys will be his potential boss .

Why, thank you. I've never been on a panel of experts before. And what part of the country is she in? The weather is anything but funny right now!!!
